BEL and Alpha Design Technologies Pass Technical Evaluation for Indian Army SDR Contract
What happened

BEL and Alpha Design Technologies successfully passed the technical evaluation, which included field, high-altitude, and desert testing. A third bidder, a joint venture of Astra and Rafael, was not technically qualified.
